I wish I could say it’s been a hot minute since I last posted, but let’s be honest, a large portion of the country is in the grips of this polar vortex thing and it’s been damn cold out. I’m permanently cold, but when I tattoo I tend to overheat. Luckily, it’s been pretty busy at the studio the last couple weeks so I’ve stayed toasty and warm. Here are the highlights:

octopus-erinkingsbury_compressed

Super proud of this one. This was the winner of a holiday giveaway I did.

filigree-carolynwilborn

A little in love with this one, too. It’s something I could even envision on myself.

This one has sad story behind it. The customer got it because her son was shot and killed recently. After getting approval from the health department, we added some of his ashes to the ink so she’ll always have him with her.

believe-janeencalvert

A very cheerful cover-up.

marshapresnell-jennette

It’s a symbol of inspiration for a woman on her 70th birthday.

moondesign-joanneblase

How cute is this? The customer designed it herself.

Cute friendship tattoos.

symbol-jovihagenburg2

No story here, it’s just cute. 

symbol-jovihagenburg

Same customer as the one above.

weepingwillow-photogrid

A couple came in and wanted different versions of a willow tree with their kids names/initials. 

weepingwillow-sarahstoeckel

This is the other version of the willow.

wildflowers-kendallwood

The customer wanted her parents’ birth flowers for this pretty tattoo.

Pin-Up Filigree

My fellow tattoo artist at Ratatat Tats, Julio, loves drawings and paintings of women with Harley Quinn clown makeup. He had a bare wall in his studio room, so as a suprise, I made him two paintings. I took the pin-up girl style, added the clown makeup, and then, because he frequently suggests filling in space around tattoos with “some filigree and some roses,” I included each in these sister paintings as a little insider joke. I’ll post one painting today (the one with the filigree) and one tomorrow. Both are available as prints, shirts, dresses, pillows, mugs, and other fun swag. Links below the image.
